Our invention relates to toy scales; and itV consists in a novel construction of a small castiron scales, whereby the saine is cheap to manufacture, and also accurate in its weighing, said .construction `being fully set out in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, which form part thereof.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our improved toy scales on line 00 00. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional elevation ot' same on the line y y.

A is the stand, and consists of the base or bed plate B, which is east hollow, and provided at the middle with an upright or standard, C, having a slot, E, at the top, and at the ends with wide holes D. Gast in the bed-plate or standard is a wire, H. A plate, I, provided with lugs J, tits in the bottom of the bedplate B and covers it up, and is held in position by thelugs J and the wire H, which is passed through the hole H and bent over, as shown.

I rIhis plate I is also provided with a hole, K,

at either end, saidholes being very slightly larger than the rods S.

r1`he lever L is provided at the center with a knit'eedge, M, which works in slot E in the standard O, and is kept in place by a cap, F, which is secured to the standard by riveting a wire, G, cast in said standard. Either end ot' leverL is pivoted in two recessed blocks, O, which are closed on the bottom by plates P, which are riveted to them at Q. Each end of the lever L is in the forni of a T, in which the upper bar represents two knife-ed ges, N, which work on the upper sides of the recesses in the blocks O. rIhese blocks are cast solid with the weight-pan R and the merchandise-basket U, which supports the tfin pan T.

The rods S work through the large holes D in the bed-plate, and are guided by theholes K in the pla-te I.
